Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My last riveter was an "off brand" that I was never completely pleased with. In needing a new riveter, I decided to go with Arrow since I was familiar with their name and have other products they offer. I've been pleased with this riveter and the many easy to use options. Being able to use one hand instead of two (from my previous product) is a real plus.

Definitely better than what I could have hoped for, but really can't except anything else from my favorite manual fastener brand.

Way over built!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I pickup this unit because it was a kit and needed a quick repair, being my 2nd Arrow purchase, and will not be my last! The RT189K is a big boy! This is not going to fit in small spaces, yet this is more ergonomic if you are installing 100 rivets!

Good Build Quality - Heavy Duty Feel
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The riveter seems to be of good quality and has heavy duty feel. The simple construction and weight gives me confidence that it will be in service for many years. If you do not need long handles for additional leverage this one might serve your needs well. So far I am happy with my purchase.
